Kwek Yu Xuan weighed just 212 grams (7.47 ounces) when she was born at Singapore's National University Hospital.
Delivered via emergency caesarean section, Yu Xuan is likely to be the lightest baby to survive a premature birth.
The 14-month-old infant has chronic lung disease and pulmonary hypertension—two conditions that are often associated with extreme prematurity—and has to be on a ventilator at home, although the hospital said she is expected to get better with time. Yu Xuan's mother was forced to undergo an emergency caesarean section at 24 weeks and six days of gestation due to preeclampsia—dangerously high blood pressure during pregnancy that in rare cases can be fatal.
